Julius Chestnut Could Lead RB Committee Against Texans
1 week agoTennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut could see more snaps in the regular season finale versus the Houston Texans. Lead running Tony Pollard (ankle) is listed as questionable, and fellow back Tyjae Spears (concussion) is out for the game. Pollard was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday and then did not participate on Friday, so fantasy managers will have to monitor his status before deciding on the Titans backfield. According to ESPN's Turron Davenport, Chestnut will be part of a committee with Joshua Kelley and Jabari Small this weekend if Pollard can't go. He was the leading option as a replacement for Spears in Week 17 after a mid-game injury, logging 17 yards on three attempts. Even if he does get a bulk of the carries, there's not enough substance yet to warrant a fantasy start for Chestnut against Houston.
